From PC Mag: If you're a Gmail and Dropbox user, keeping all your files in one place is about to get a lot easier thanks to a new Dropbox add-on for Gmail.
In March, Dropbox announced a new partnership with Google Cloud in a bid to centralize content, secure collaboration, and make for more effective communication. In other words, allow Google services users to seamlessly store and share content using their Dropbox accounts. A key part of making that happen was Dropbox integration with Gmail, which happened today through the launch of a Dropbox add-on for Gmail.
Chrome users may already be enjoying the Dropbox for Gmail extension, but this new add-on works "cross browser, cross platform" meaning you can use your favorite browser and even take advantage of it in the Gmail app for Android and (eventually) iOS.
The advantages of this integration as Dropbox sees it is the removal of worry about file sizes and inbox space, which Google limits to 15GB before you start paying. Sharing files can be done simply by sharing a Dropbox link rather than adding an attachment or transferring the files on to your Google Drive.
This also works in reverse. If you receive an email with files attached, they can be saved to Dropbox rather than deciding where to store them locally or having to use up Drive space. There's also no need to leave Gmail to access Dropbox anymore as most tasks can now be done from within the Gmail interface.
